Protecting Boats From Snow with a Metal Building

Though UV rays are a bigger threat to your boat than snow or freezing temperatures, the cold weather and frozen precipitation it brings can still cause significant damage. It is not simply a thermometer reading of 30 degrees or below, but a combination of moisture with low temperatures that can wreak havoc with a boat. Some people go to the expense of heated storage for their boats, but that is not always necessary. If you have properly winterized the motor and any other component that contains water to prevent freezing, you will not need heated storage. However, putting your boat under cover will provide protection it needs from snow.

One of the issues with snow accumulating on boats is that it tends to go through cycles of melting and freezing. Repeated cycles throughout just one winter can weaken your boat’s hull because water has a way of sneaking into even the smallest hairline cracks, and then expanding when it freezes. That, of course, results in larger cracks over time. Additionally, snow tends to pile up, even through melt/freeze cycles. Boats that are not protected can be damaged if the weight of accumulated snow and ice becomes too heavy.
